When in the water, Piper always knew where she was going. It probably had to do with the fact that she had done so much running there. The few times she had found herself on land before she’d found that her sense of direction was nowhere to be found. Hence how she found herself lost in Port Vale for the third time that day. “Why can’t this place just make sense?” She muttered under her breath, glancing about.

“Excuse me, can you point me in the direction of the place that sells the Jello?” It was a new found favorite of Piper’s but she didn’t remember the name of the place she got it from.

It wasn’t too long until his shift at the Houseboat was set to begin, and so Mike was headed down toward the dock where the bar was parked. He wasn’t running late, so when he caught sight of a familiar redhead nearby, he figured there was plenty of time to stop and chat. "Hey, Pipes!” Mike greeted, cheerful as ever. “How’s it hangin’?”

          Aylin had never been on a date before. She didn’t know what she was supposed to do or how she was supposed to act. Signing up for the event had only been because she was bored and Renzie’s words about getting involved in town events was on her mind. So she signed up. She could cause a little bit of chaos and see what this dating business was all about. Looking up what kinds of things people wore on dates and how they acted, Aylin picked the perfect dress out from a local shop and made her way to the Lobster Haven. She had no idea who her date was, that was the point, but when she spotted another person just as lost as she was, Aylin figured it was her date. 

          Tapping Piper on the shoulder, the selkie grinned and looked at  her. “Red! You’re my date, apparently.” She probably should say she didn’t know anything about dating, but at this point she figured that the other probably did know she was not human. “Are you ready to eat some lobster or whatever we’re supposed to do?”

ASSYRIA CHRONICLES - 001 

1. 21. 2022.

I’m back! You may not have missed me (or noticed I was gone), but I have definitely missed you. So much so, that I have brought back all sorts of valuable updates, reports, information, and secrets from Assyria to share with you all. Please keep in mind; this is all just the chatter in the sea, but I’ve made sure to validate each report personally. Let’s just dive right in, shall we? 

A pod of seals brought gifts to the Coral Sea; an abundance of fish & other seafood treats from faraway lands, beautifully adorned armor and delicate trinkets, as well as a mysterious locked box without a key. It is seemingly impossible to open no matter how hard it is smashed into rocks. Since receiving these gifts, any sirens within the Coral Sea saw immediate with health, if they had been previously been feeling under the weather. 

In sadder news, the first of Assyrian royalty has gotten sick, though it seems to be a mild case - Isla Marin is showing symptoms of the illness, and has been highly advised to stay out of the water, at all costs. More information has come to light on the sickness itself, showing that the sick sirens and mermaids seem to improve when in human form, and worsen when in their natural form. The sick mermaids have began to see dark spots in their gemstones/pearls and nightmares have began to be reported among the ill, as well.

Some believe these dreams have something to do with the ever-growing threat of darkness terrorizing the Assyrian realms... but you didn’t hear that from me!

An interesting new plant has began to grow in the areas of the Antarctic and Artic kingdoms, where icebergs have melted and the water has been changing. Mermaids from each kingdom are bringing the foliage to their respective Princesses; and they hope their rulers can learn more for them here in town. 

In the Indian Ocean, 3 sirens from the Caribbean Sea went missing - they were passing through, according to the reports from mermaids on guard, and when seen, swam away quickly and seemingly just disappeared. More reports of an odd, moving darkness in the outer edge of the Indian Ocean, where the Caribbean sirens were last sighted, have been rumored. A warning has been issued for everyone to stay together and stay diligent. The mermaids who were patrolling that area have all fallen ill, black specs in their pearls. Many have taken to land to recover.

A lot of the Caribbean Sea sirens are suspicious of the Indian Ocean mermaids...  if you ask me, they aren’t too sure about the ‘disappearance’ theory. 

One of the outer boroughs of the North Pacific kingdom had a minor disaster; it was brushed by the elusive darkness, killing any vegetation in it’s path, and the mermaids who lived there have had to move closer to the sea capitol for food, as the fish have became scarce in the place where the darkness hovered. Mermaids in the royal court are growing restless and uneasy in the absence of their princess.

A small number of Black Sea sirens have left their territory and have been traveling across land towards the Baltic Sea; Unclaimed territory that has loose ownership to the North Atlantic, but is not currently guarded. Though officially proclaimed as merely an exploration mission, rumors are that the Black Sea sirens hope to establish a new territory separate from the Black Sea. 

I overheard two South Pacific mermaids saying that maybe they have the right idea to flee and start their own thing. Could it be true that even mermaids are beginning to doubt the monarchy?

PENNED BY ECHO.

Gabi considered the person in front of her with interest. It had been several years, but Gabi did remember the mermaid on the run whom had stopped in her territory. While she regarded mermaids with some concern, she did believe in free passage for travelers. It had always seemed like the right thing to do, and selfishly benefited her if reciprocated. “Walk with me?” Gabi suggested to Piper, gesturing in a direction away from the city centre. There were too many humans here, and Gabi wanted to talk and find out what this particular mermaid was doing in town. “I’m Gabi. I think it’d be good if we had a talk.” While she looked mostly similar to her siren form, she wasn’t sure if she would be recognizable enough.

 …someone my muse has only met once, but will never forget.

Piper- the mermaid on the run that made her way into Gabi’s sea. The chance to exercise the granting of free passage are very exciting. Gabi wonders sometimes if she shouldn’t have asked for a favor in exchange for the promise of safety. To be fair, Piper really did seem to be at risk, but... Why take back the promise of a favor?
